There's a place not too far away from here Out with the cows and the Lonestar Beer Where the livin' and lovin' is quite alright with me Well they call it Texas it's a might fine place to be It runs from Texarkana to El Paso Oklahoma down to old Mexico And there's Houston, Dallas, Austin and San Antone People in Texas sure do make you feel at home They just want everybody to leave them alone While they drink their whiskey and roll their own And they like their music with a little bit of Southern Sound Kick up their heels every evening when the sun goes down You can call it country and they don't care And if you don't like the way they wear their hair You can take your lights and shove 'em on up the line People in Texas don't care if the sun don't shine
